Podcast founder Andrea Rathborne and the iconic Betty White share the same birth date - January 17th. In 2022, as Betty would have celebrated her 100th birthday, Andrea turned 50—Half Betty’s age. This milestone sparked a powerful reflection: Betty White achieved more between 50 and 100 than in her first 50 years, suggesting that midlife is not an end but a bold, new beginning. Inspired by Betty’s legacy, Andrea saw turning 50 as the gateway to a second, even greater life chapter - one full of possibility, reimagination, and purpose. This vision gave rise to Half Betty, a bold and vibrant community where midlife women come together to feel supported, inspired, informed, and deeply valued. It’s a space where the stories of their next chapter take shape and the extraordinary potential of their second scene unfolds.

Épisode 4

lundi 17 mars 2025 • Durée 49:21

Meet Emma May, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur known for her resilience and ambitious endeavors. Emma shares her journey from law to real estate, and then to founding her own clothing line Sophie Grace, aimed at providing comfortable yet stylish workwear for women. She recounts her transformative experiences, including leading a community effort to mitigate flood damage in Calgary, raising significant capital for her business, and navigating the challenges of ADHD. Emma emphasizes the importance of supportive communities, overcoming fear, and seizing opportunities as she moves into the next phase of her life. The episode concludes with Emma's plans for future adventures and reflections on living life to its fullest.

Bio

Emma May is a visionary entrepreneur, activist, and business leader whose career spans law, politics, real estate, and fashion. A former corporate lawyer, she has navigated the worlds of entertainment law and public service, including her role as Executive Director for the Office of the Premier in Southern Alberta under Premier Jim Prentice.

Her journey is one built of courage, adaptability, commitment and ambition—falling in love with business, pivoting to balance motherhood with professional fulfillment, and continually seeking new intellectual challenges. As a real estate leader, she has played a key role in shaping Alberta’s property landscape, bringing strategic insight and bold decision-making to every venture she pursues.

In 2018, Emma stood in her closet, frustrated by the lack of streamlined, elegant, mix-and-match clothes for professional women. Rather than accept the gap in the market, she created Sophie Grace, a digitally-driven fashion brand designed for busy women who want to look and feel polished, professional and comfortable with minimal effort.

Emma’s work is driven by a deep understanding and compassion for the challenges modern women face—navigating careers, families, and personal aspirations. Through Sophie Grace, she continues to redefine workwear, championing simplicity, sophistication, and empowerment in every piece. And, not stopping at creating design that supports women in how they easily dress for their careers, Emma also continues to build her own second scene and path forward - in style.

Half George

Épisode 5

mercredi 2 avril 2025 • Durée 38:31

While we originally planned to launch “Half George” as an April Fools’ gag to replace “Half Betty,” we realized that the stories of men, their mid-lives, and mental health are deeply significant and deserving of genuine support. Instead of sharing “Half George” on April 1st, we decided to release this special stand-alone episode today, April 2nd.

This episode is dedicated to all the men who have unexpectedly connected with “Half Betty,” related to its themes, and reached out with questions. We hope this provides a space for bold vulnerability and connection—a place where men can share their midlife journeys and reflect on building their next, best chapters.

Join hosts Chris Rathborne and Kyle Gruen—our husbands—as they explore the midlife experience for men. Inspired by icons like George Burns and George Clooney, “Half George” mirrors the spirit of “Half Betty” while focusing on topics such as health, fitness, fatherhood, friendships, and navigating challenges like parental aging, loss, and grief (especially during the pandemic). It also touches on how remote work has brought unexpected family time and balance.

For now, “Half George” remains a stand-alone episode. But perhaps one day it will grow into something more. To all the men listening: thank you for your curiosity, your willingness to relate, and your questions. We see you—and we appreciate you.

Enjoy this heartfelt exploration of midlife stories with Chris and Kyle.

Andrea and Krista are joined by love coach, TED speaker and now Author, Francesca Hogi!

Francesca (aka Franny - an approved nickname) introduces her ‘Self Love’ Formula, which includes self-compassion, self-worth, self-validation, self-care, and self-gratitude. She emphasizes the power of human connection, shared stories, and the importance of operating from a place of love rather than fear. This episode also touches on navigating friendships and romantic relationships in midlife, and Francesca's personal journey, which includes moving on from a long-term relationship, finding new love and moving to Paris.
